Shifty winds for the latest rounds for the Cobley series yesterday. But blue skies and sun meant 15 boats headed out for the pursuit race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul W set off first in his <\/a>Morbic, with Tatiana in her Topper following shortly after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind filled in for the Comets of Karen, Chris H & Sally, before a lull at the start line left the ILCA6’s & Solos struggling to get away. Karen got ahead, and kept her lead for the rest of the race. Newton (Solo), Will S (ILCA6) & Hugh (ILCA7) were having a close race to round off the podium. Meanwhile, Steve S (ILCA7), Richard G (AERO7) & Chris H had dropped further back and were having a fight of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the finish gun, Karen was first, with Newton 2nd And Hugh 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind filled in slightly for the handicap race. The shifts made it difficult to decide on a starting position, but Will S read it perfectly, starting at the pin end & port tacking the entire fleet. Newton was next around the windward mark, followed by Richard G who promptly capsized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What followed was a close battle between Will & Newton, before Newton dropped back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there was a close battle between Chris H & Karen (Both in Comets) Al\u00e9 (470), Richard G & Rick (ILCA7) were all having a close battle in the midflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will S crossed the line 1st, with Newton 2nd & Hugh 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Handicap, Will retained 1st, with Newton 2nd & Chris H 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Ron & his team for running the racing yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, there were bacon rolls made by Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re back on Wednesday for the Twilight Race, which is the final Wednesday evening race of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
